2 TESTIMONIALS. 



Washington City, January 5, 1846. 

 We, the undersigned, testify that Mr B Jaeger (from 1831 

 to 1840 Professor of Botany, Zoology and Modern Languages, 

 at the New Jersey College in Princeton, and since a resident of 

 the district) is a gentleman of profound knowledge and high 

 standing in society, but principally distinguished as a Botanist, 

 Zoologist and excellent Linguist. We also take pleasure in 

 adding our testimony to the high and honorable bearing of Pro- 

 fessor Jaeger, since we had the pleasure of knowing him.

The subscriber has been acquainted with Mr. B. Jaeger, 

 (formerly professor of Botany, Zoology and Modern Languages, 

 in Princeton College, New Jersey,) for several years. Mr. 

 Jaeger filled the situation from 1631 to 1840. 



The subscriber knows that the late Professor Hassler enter- 

 tained the highest opinion of the attainments and the character 

 of Mr Jaeger. As one well qualified to judge of the merits of 

 Mr. Jaeger, the testimony of Mr. Hassler will go far to establish 

 the reputation of Mr. Jaeger with those who have not the 

 advantage of his acquaintance, but who, knowing Mr. Hnssler, 

 would have great confidence in his opinion as a scientific man. 



The high testimonials received by Mr. Jaeger from the 

 present Faculty of Princeton College, together with other 

 evidences of his standing as a man of science, now in his 

 possession, will doubtless be considered to present abundant 

 proofs to such as may feel a disposition to know the reputation 

 of Mr. Jaeaer.
